These are all from my google document, yayyyy!! All of these are at different points in the relationship, it’s not organized. You have to lock in yourself 

Nikei feels safer with a lot of layers on, and likes being crowded with blankets and such, this includes mikado’s cape

Nikei has a very clickity keyboard and Mikado likes to listen to him type as he zones out for at least a hour (nikei most of the time doesnt fully realize he’s there)

Nikei has an entire separate notepad book necklace that’s just about mikado and how he works and how much he hates him (hatred is the purest form of obsession)

Nikei has mikado saved on his phone as “DO NOT ANSWER”

Mikado is a very good cook AND baker, even if nikei doesn’t really like sugar- he still likes basically anything mikado will cook (nikei can’t cook for shit)

Nikei is pretty bad with hardware and just technology in itself despite it being most of his job, Mikado watches in horror as nikei almost breaks his computer for the 4th time this year.

They both really like vocaloid but Nikei is too cocky to admit it, and Mikado won’t shut up about it.

Mikado doesnt know shit about history, he never really felt any use for it other than the hopes peak tradgey, on the other hand, Nikei in obsessed with all the wars and old civilization and when Nikei learns of mikados lack of knowledge he doesn’t really care as much at first but then Mikado asked about it seeming genuinely interested and nikei finally got to infodump about it for the first time, mikado is very confused but just likes listening to nikei ramble.

They’re both very good liars but over time the other one can tell when the other is not entirely telling the truth (it took a lot of time)

Nikei is a very angry and depressing drunk, Mikado makes sure to avoid any gatherings with Nikei and Alcohol until nikei is either passed out or bothering some other poor soul.

Mikado has no idea Nikei is a pervert during the killing game, and when someone informs them of it Mikado thinks they’re lying.

They both have a problem with getting too involved with their work (Nikei and Journalism + articles) (Mikado and obsessiveness over leaving program) and has to frequently remind the other one to stop (It’s mainly Mikado dragging Nikei away from his work, but once in a while if Nikei doesn’t see mikado for a day of two he’ll check up on him and make sure he’s alright)

They both really like chess, Mikado always wins. For a while they just played stupid board games if they were forced to spend anytime together (i got AUs for this trust), and they’d usually bet on something. Nikei’s ego has yet to realize that he’s going against an AI

Mikado’s Voice was taken from both his father and some vocaloid voice boxes, Mikado used to sing random songs when he was bored pre killing game- nikei wants to hear said songs to make fun of him.

Mikado loves horror movies and horror documentaries (he’s been able to get some real nasty ones from Kokoro), Nikei has to lock in and pretend he’s not scared as fuck but he is very much scared as fuck- mikado knows that nikei is lying and pretends not to notice it.

Mikado is a very light sleeper and Nikei is a very deep sleeper.

Mikado has a pretty difficult time sleeping alone in pure silence, he’s usually able to put some kind of white noise or something alike but on especially difficult nights he just sits at the foot of nikeis bed on the floor, reading or something before falling asleep. Mikado is usually able to teleport out of there before Nikei wakes up- Nikei at some point felt like something was off and was able to catch Mikado just sitting there one night- Mikado never really explained it to Nikei- nikei has kinda just accepted that when he wakes up sometimes mikado will just be sleeping on the floor. 

Their both the jealous type. If Nikei ends up going on a date with a girl or something (rare) Mikado will try and one up basically everything Nikei talked about the girl doing (Example the girl took an interest in Nikei’s job so Mikado sat next to Nikei asking him questions about whatever the fuck he’s writing sbout for the next hour). Then if Mikado acts like the Freak that he is around the other men (yk like he does) than Nikei will make an excuse in order to drag Mikado away from said interaction. Nikei finds mikado’s jealousy a little funny and Mikado purposely makes Nikei jealous because it’s the only time he’ll get attention from nikei (ahem attention whore).

Mikado is very touchy, nikei did very much mind it at first but kinda grown used to it (mikado is very warm)- ofc he’d never let himself actually believe that and continues to push mikado away. 

Mikado has pretty bad sensory issues- (the program kinda broke on him in chapter 6). If it’s too loud or there’s a lot of flashing lights then’ll he’ll start glitching out, and such alike. Nikei thinks this is the funniest thing ever 

Mikado is basically always overheating, the fire magic makes him warmer, and the overheating of the program at times makes him feel warmer, on the other hand Nikei is very cold- he kinda got used to wearing a lot of clothing during the summer and winter that over time he’d adapted to it and now always feels cold if he isn’t wearing 5 fucking layers.

Nikei has a pretty bad habit of falling asleep around Mikado when it’s late at night, he doesn’t feel safe around Mikado it’s more that he’s so sleep deprived and Mikado is just so very warm.

Mikado drags Nikei out of his room to eat (Nikei is basically a test subject for whatever fucked up recipe mikado has made)

Mikado makes it very clear about their very slight height difference- He’ll steal something like a pen or notebook and slightly dangle it out of Nikei’s reach. Nikei is very unhappy about this.

Mikado is a very romantic flirt- very specific compliments- romantic gestures- anything. He found most of it from those very romantic old movies and highly misinterpreted that this is the type of shit you should be saying to your fiancé not some twink who hates you.

Nikei asks Setsuka for relationship advice because she’s basically the Big sister of the group yk- Nikei pretends that he is talking about literally anyone other than mikado- it’s a bit obvious though. 

Nikei is very often forced to watch those shitty reality dating shows becsude there is always some insane controversy about them- Mikado knows way too much about it from listening to Nikei complain about it and sometimes the two of them get way too invested in some random relationship and start arguing abt it.

The very small amount of times Nikei has reciprocated mikado’s feelings- mikado turns very obessive and very excited 

Nikei is fucking horrified of hights- the feeling of smashing against the ground is still very prevalent- Mikado is not very careful around heights- ofcourse nikei knows thst mikado can just save himself but still nikei gets panicky.

Mikado is also very adverse with touch despite him wanting to- the only time someone else willingly interacted with him like that is when he was getting beaten in chapter 4 twice. Nikei believes this is very hypocritical behavior

Earlier in the relationship it was basically, “I want to break this man” for both of them

(OOTP (out of the program also kinda like otp ahahah) Mikado goes to any fancy event that Nikei is interviewing at for an excuse to look cool.

(OOTP) Mikado and Nikei go outside a lot shockingly- mikado is very fascinated by the concept of living things, animals, plants, just nature in general. Nikei is kinda dragged along at first but ends up really appreciating being outside and not locked into his job.

(OOTP) Mikado is used to breaking into Nikeis home and bothering him, Nikei has just excepted that he can’t change this

(OOTP) If they were to ever get married, Mikado would probably do some fucked up shit and burn the ring on his finger so he can never remove it! Nikei did not join him on whatever the fuck he was doing.

Mikado has a save on tomodachi life of everyone, him and nikei are married. Mikado believes that this is the purest way of socializing 

Mikado is surprisingly very interested in Nikei’s life, Nikei didn’t tell Sora his super dark depressing backstory so it’s up to Mikado to try and guess it. He also just loves the idea that journalism is just bullying people and spreading misinformation, Nikei doesnt really correct him on that.

That’s it! Probably less than you expected- or more… I’ve been sitting on these for a while now so they aren’t the most fresh thoughts in my head but they are still very very sanniuri so, also sorry for spelling mistakes of any kind… words r difficult

First of all, i absolutely adore your interpretation of Mikado. All of my headcanons more so treat Alter Ego Mikado and Real World Mikado as the same person. But i do really appreciate Alter Ego Mikado on his own as his own separate entity, i adoreee him 💙

• I love Nikei and Mikado as the most annoying toxic situationship you'll ever witness. They're gross and they fight really loud at restaurants because Mikado ALWAYS knows how to bait Nikei into it.

• In some fucked up other world where Nikei and Mikado actually got along and got together. I think they'd be an incredibly powerful antagonist duo. From Mikado's technical prowess, to Nikei's ability to gather information, combined with both of their big fat egos and plotting capabilities. That would make them a very fun villain duo to write ! Too bad they're both too self absorbed and selfish to even entertain that idea.

• I really like your "Nikei is terrified of heights" hc so im stealing that too. Also makes his execution that much better LOL.

• I like to think that Nikei's favorite articles to write are slander pieces that ruin lives. It's one of the many ways he takes out his frustration (aside from treating Void like shit).

• This one I got from @nomicones . Now, we know that Nikei's divine luck thing is power but! counter point, what if was/is influence instead? He's a journalist afterall and he can use his articles to influence the public. Just things to ponder !

• I Also agree with the Nikei finding safety in wearing a million layers, but also I think he does it to hide his scrawnyness as well. Cause like. With the shit he says/starts, he's totally gonna get beat up one day LOL. Something something inferiority complex too.

• Mikado is so fucking gay and Nikei is such a repressed bisexual bitch. I don't think he'd come out ever unless in a very different and healthy environment where we deal with all of his other issues. Mikado sniffs out his repressed ass immediately and gives Nikei so much shit for it.

Heres a few of my own

- Mikado always goes to sleep after Nikei and wakes up before him, keeping up the illusion that he never sleeps (in a real world scenario)

-expanding on the "influence" as his form of divine luck, I think that Nikei definetly recieved the least ammount of luck of all the voids (since his life wasnt bound for death or anything or trapped in hellish abuse like the others). So he starts showing signs of losing his luck first. I think this comes in the form of Mikado taking his "influence" over the voids completely, along with him losing influence over the media world due to working for Mikado now.

-Mikado is a black coffee person and Nikei doesnt like the taste of black coffee but is a pretentious fuck about it and pretends he does. Something like "No, I dont need that sugary crap"

- When it comes to room decoration, they both wouldnt have any actual purposeful decoration like posters or plants. Rather, Nikei's "decoration" would be his corkboard with notes bleeding onto the walls and countless papers and books scattering his desk. Mikado's would be his mess of a desk and a bunch of random clutter of things he just found interesting.

I love bugs!! i own a tarantula! so now we get to see what Nikei and Mikado are to me if they were bugs

Mikado feels like a Red Widow to me.

Nikeiii is a moth!! specifically thinking the pale tussock moth

so uhh i saw someone use a headcanon generator thing where it’s like someone makes a bunch of headcanons and has things where u can put characters in and i did a few of mikado and nikei. I’ve been in an art block recently and all my art isn’t doing the thing it correctly does so all of these are BAD and LOW QUALITY, so just lock in on the image and try to understand the vision.

Also i’ll expand the headcanons under the image becayse yk :P i lik thes guys a lot

Phone BROKEN, yea sure nikei couldve just deleted the email or not responded but CMONN what’s the joy and whimsy in that?? If Nikei got like sent back in time or some other silly au things he’d do everything in his power for the children of utsuro not to find out about mikado or his motives, yk so they all don’t die (and so nikei csn keep power tripping (that’s actually the main part ) Also i’d like to think they are all very poor and have no riches or funds so nikei just destroyed like the best phone they have, dumb idiot journalist.

This one’s already canon, no need to headcanon anythjng this one is just real, jt was rlly funny when nikeis hand blew up, top 5 funniest moments EVER

woah cool AU thing!! Do you want a fix it AU? Well heres mine! Sora shows mikado and utsuro something called empathy and that it’s good and Mikado is like ohhh fuck, yea my bad king, uhm not much we can do though ahahah (he still doesn’t rlly care) and Sora gets mikado to bring everyone back to life (which eventually works) and basically everyone is brought back to the program either by reviving or kinjo cult dragging people back in, now they have around 6 months to get their shit together while they try and find Utsuro’s and Yuki’s corpse (they’re lucky fucks so knowing them they’re bodies are probably in the nicest conditions EVER (or ig due to Akanes luck now-) Mikado is the one exception because the irl mikado is rotted and dead so mikado gets to fuck around for 6 months before he’s just alone in the program. Funny things ensue, anyways this will be the basis for some of these prompts, it’s also why i drew mikado like that becayse i like that form better and this is my blog sooo

I’d like to think Nikei hates parties, he hates being social, he hates the atmosphere, they SUCK, why get drunk with friends when you can do that alone and in sorrow, anyways. Nikei just stands next to the person who he knows best, which is often mikado (Mikado just shows up places, for the love of the game (Also mikado doesnt drink because he never coded the feeling of being drunk to his ai so there’s rlly no point)) Even though Mikado thinks this is so funny because nikei is miserable in every scenario and he deserves all of it, Nikei would rather deal with Mikado than deal with drunk people or look like a loser.

Technically mikado isn’t bound by the normal shit humans are- i mean how much can this dumb rock REALLY hurt, and it’s like a cool fun color, worst case scenario he’s dies but like cmon that ship has sailed like 5 chapters alone and he’s rlly curious, anyways Nikei doesnt think this is a good idea, surprisingly.

Mikado sometimes overworks himself and glitches out- but like he has to create a new plan in order to leave digital hell and he has quite a limited time to do it, so he doesn’t really sleep that often, Nikei likes making fun of him in this state and that “Sleep is important!!” and that “The better you sleep- the more work you get done!!!” knowing damn well that he does the exact same thing with deadlines with jobs. I’d like to think they’re both over workers and they force the other to get rest, either because of genuine concern for the other or because it pisses the other one off (Your choice!) (i rlly like codependency csn u tell)

It’s really difficult to get into ur family lore when your mom low-key tortured her daughter and ur dad is gay for what can be considered god and those 2 mix of parents really fuck you up in a special intriguing cool way, Nikei wants to learn more about Mikado so that he has some type of leverage over the other, Mikado doesnt give him said information for this specific reason (and also it’s just a lot of lore and memories that arent typically the most fun)

were these really out of character? Probably. Was this basically just about Mikado and the mental issues i force on to him? Yea. Does anyone care? Idk most likely not. But this was joyous and fun and delightful, i recommend this to anyone who’s silly.

Im a nikei addict. Someone help me.

ANYWAYS, I will now go into tiny spiels about the placements and why I put them there undercut.

I really hadn't considered syobai or especially shinji but its interesting to think about both, seeing as theyre such opposites. Nikei would surely be so insecure in a relationship with Shinji that he'd be an asshole ALL the time, shinji RUN. And the same with Syobai but withiut the added 'hes actually a good person' thing. They can both be awful to eachother!

Yoruko and Nikei kind of stands out to me here too, like a version of Setsukei where Yoruko isn't effected by him being cute. Yes girl hit your man he deserves it!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! IVE BEEN MEANING TOO

some sdra2 characters i like (drawn at the end of 2022

it's early in the morning and I don't want to go back to sleep, so we get my possibly incoherent thoughts on Nikei Yomiuri...

NIKEI YOMIURI IS MY FUCKING ENEMY!!!!!!! 🤬🤬 (spoilers for SDRA2 chapter 4 undercut)

Chiikawa

I forgot mikados mask its below

(I haven't posted or looked at tumblr in months. I dont know what im doing, and im scared of people. ahh.)

Anyways, here is my nikei related art from this year. I love nikei very much.

Yes I know the ceramic figures look absolutely horrifying. They stare into my soul, i can't paint 😭

But it adds to their charm. Ok? Ok.

Nikei doesn't have his hat because he is STUPID and his head is shaped weirdly. I tried everything.

No hat for him. He is evil !

Felt nikei is actually cool he can pose and stuff .. heh..

This picture is so blurry. Pretend it isn't. Thank you

Unrelated, but I honestly can not draw nikei !! I can't capture his overwhelming loser aura in my art. Sigh.
